    Sore ears following many dives

    Just one possible explanation: Could it be that you are clearing too hard? Clearing too hard can cause mild trauma. My girlfriend's ears were killing her on her first few dives. I quickly figured out that she was blowing too hard while clearing, and was mildly injuring herself after a day of...

    Coral Thief

    Please, enlighten us. It seems like a pretty cut and dry case, but I am always open to the idea of new/unseen perspectives. From the stories linked in the thread, it appears pretty cut and dry. And, I don't mean to be rude, but your first three posts on this thread are completely incoherent...

    Researching about the toxicity of lead in scuba diving

    I don't mean to stir anything up, this really is just an innocent question, but don't you have to ingest lead in order to get lead poisoning? I didn't think it could be absorbed directly through the skin.

    truce....you mean truce. You are not asking for truths. Scubaboard is the wrong site for this. This is what I was warning you about. To avoid coming across as terribly uneducated or incredibly lazy, please use spell and grammar check.

    South Florida Ocean Watch

    There are lots of places to get domains for under $10. Just do a quick google search. I'm sure your father or your Coast Guard 'General' could help you out with that. We know you are 15, you have said that ad nauseam. But, for you to call people names, then ask that everybody act as adults is a...

    The spelling disorder is selective ;) Now, as for Brett, you got uppity when you first started posting about this group and I told you you needed more info. Now, here you are, still with no information of substance on your webpage. The only links you have are two rejected filing notices from...

    FS: Zeagle Ranger with Octo-z/Aeris xr1 NX

    I also have a spare brand new standard inflator. If you would like, I will include the standard inflator, along with the integrated octo. With the BX coupler system, this is simply a matter of unscrewing one and screwing in the other.

    Biomechanical Dive Flag Tattoo

    Talk to people in your area about good tattoo shops. A good artist will be able to work with you and come up with the design and refine in to what you want. It'll mean more than an image you got online anyway. ;)

    Water in my BC wing?

    I'm still pretty new to diving. I always end the dive with a little bit of water in the wing. My girlfriend, however, always ends with about a quart of water in her wing. After realizing this, I watched her and realized that, when descending, she holds the purge button on her inflator long after...

    I Want To Pursue a Career In Diving

    Sorry to tell you this, but diving prefessionally doesn't pay. You will not be able to afford an apartment by yourself anywhere that's near the water in Flroida. Most, if not all, new divers wnat to do it professionally. It's so cool, who wouldn't want to get paid for it. But there's the catch...

    best way to layer a 3mm and a vest or shorties?

    According to your specific layering situation, I would think this answer would differ. Before I picked up my Pinnacle 5 mil, I had a well-made, but fairly cheap(Evo) 3mm suit. When I needed additional insulation, I used a 2 mil hooded vest. I tried it on the inside and outside. I found that, for...

    Proper way to store tanks?

    Just to be safe, I store my tanks at full service pressure(plus 500-700 PSI )right next to the fireplace. This ensures that the tanks stay dry and the air I breathe is nice and toasty. The overfill ensures that nothing gets inside the turny doohickeys... Sometimes, when I want to take extra...

    Have a gear configuration question...

    I know this might sound elementary, but have you tried using a different LP port on your first stage. I had the same problem when I bought my flathead. It took me about 4 dives before I realized that it wasn't an equipment confidence issue. I switched the ports my secondaries are on, and I have...

    Blue Heron Bridge @ Low Tide?

    I second that. The beauty of BHB is invisible in the murk of low tide. Imagine diving in a barrel full of blindfolds. You're better off waiting for the high tide.
